Or is he just a liar? because he has also stated that his mother once told him that he had Canadian citizenship. So he didn't just find that out from reading the Dallas News.
What about Obama’s Indonesian Citizenship?
Here is a clickable link to the webpage in the OP. Go have a look:
When Schwartzenegger was mentioned for president, the left brought up the issue of his foreign birth.
Don’t expect them to even acknowledge this.
A judge in New Jersey disagreed with Charles and Bret:
Purpura & Moran v. Obama: New Jersey Administrative Law Judge Jeff S. Masin: “No court, federal, state or administrative, has accepted the challengers’ position that Mr. Obama is not a “natural born citizen” due to the acknowledged fact that his father was born in Kenya and was a British citizen by virtue of the then applicable British Nationality Act. Nor has the fact that Obama had, or may have had, dual citizenship at the time of his birth and thereafter been held to deny him the status of natural born. It is unnecessary to reinvent the wheel here. … The petitioners’ legal position on this issue, however well intentioned, has no merit in law. Thus, accepting for the point of this issue that Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii, he is a ‘natural born citizen’ regardless of the status of his father.” April 10, 2012

Yay! Another birther thread! Woohoo! Maybe this’ll be the one that finally settles the matter once and for all.
Why are they ALL OF A SUDDEN “getting” it? (Cruz?)
Fox. Shepbitch Smith. Bill Ohreally. Whorealdo.
I used to watch Fox. No longer. Don’t miss it.
Obama’s two election victories have mooted the original constitutional interpretation of any president being a “natural born” citizen. We are stuck with the present definition for any citizen with one foreign parent-baby born on US soil or baby born abroad and brought back here by the citizen parent for the term of some years[10?].
Obama’s fake birth certificate lists Hawaii and Cruz was back in the US as a child. Cruz is filing paperwork to be delisted as a potential Canadian. I’d vote for Cruz if he ran.
I do very much love what Ted Cruz is doing in his first term. I believe him to be a true American Patriot, but he is not a natural born citizen as I perceive the premise.
My belief is that one has to be born in this country of two citizen parents. It really is simple, and anyone that bothers to understand the philosophical premise laid down by the Founders has to agree.
Yup, I suspect Krauthammer and his DC beltway attitude sees Cruz as too conservative...the reason to out him.
The correct proposition is that a person who is born subject to the sovereignty of some head of state other than the United States is not a Natural Born Citizen and is not eligible to hold the office of President.
The disqualifying condition would usually occur because the person would be born outside the United States and thus subject to the sovereignty of the head of state of the place of birth.
Dual Citizenship per se is largely irrelevant.
Are you asserting that Uraguqay could disqualify a candidate they didn't like for President of the US by passing legislation granting such person citizenship? Of course not.
Have you considered the fact that a large part of the population of the US, is, unknown to the individual members, citizen of another country? Many Euro countries have automatic citizenship to grandchildren of departed citizens--if you have a grand parent; or grand father in some cases; you are automatically a citizen, know it or not.
More likely to be a problem? An immigrant to the US from a country which does not automatically grant citizenship to granchildren; comes to US; marries a US Citizen and applies for citizenship; they have a child before citizenship is granted thus leaving the child a dual citizen (of the US by place of birth under the 14th Amendment; of the country of origin because the parent was a citizen only of that country at the date of birth).
The child grows up and has his own son; that son is also a citizen of both countries under normal principles of international law in most cases.
Silly to focus primarily on the dual citizen question--the issue; the only issue; is sovereignty of the place of birth.
What is amazing is that you’re irritated that Charles Lane, a leftist dupe,is just doing what he does normally and naturally. The media in general and Zero’s supporters all do what comes naturally. I think they all need to be seen as the enemy of everything that has made our nation a great constitutional republic and treated accordingly.
Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story’s
“Commentary on the Constitution”,
which was written within a generation
of its adoption, implies that even a
natural-born citizen who assumes foreign
citizenship at any time thereby forfeits
his eligibility ever to assume the office
of President.
Bret Baier lost all credibility on this issue when he stated that the NATURALIZED Puerto Ricans are eligible to be President.
If dual citizens couldn’t be president then any country could make anybody ineligible just by granting them citizenship.
I watched the video. It seems clear to me that the commenter was speaking from a political point of view, and not a Constitutional one.
